Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 9x1-1/2-inch round cake pans with foil, extending foil over the pan edges. Set aside.

Place sugar cookie mix in a large bowl. Sprinkle almond extract over mix. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in dried cranberries.
